Not only did the Pirates land Luke Weaver today, but the Mets are also making it a lot easier financially for the Buccos. Weaver will basically get the league-minimum from the Pirates the rest of this year and the Mets will pay roughly half of Weaver's salary for 2027. How did the Mets make this so easy? Will the Pirates make another move in the next hour-plus? It feels like the Cubs have added 10 players today. Henry Davis was roasted by a baseball insider. Evan Roberts from WFAN in New York City joined the show. Evan said Luke Weaver is a great late-inning option and can absolutely pitch the 9th for the Pirates. Evan doesn't believe the pressure gets to Weaver. Evan said Weaver is ‘kind of weird, but in a good way' and has a good personality. Evan said Weaver does interviews like a guy cutting an old-school wrestling promo. What kind of mix does Weaver work with? Former Pirates closer Matt Capps joined the show. Matt thinks the move for Luke Weaver is ‘incredible' and cites that the Pirates basically moved Ke'Bryan Hayes to get Weaver one year later. Matt said there is an aura about the 9th inning and how difficult it can be to close out games. The guys asked Matt how this shifts the Pirates bullpen late in the game. How many sausages will Matt put down during the 4-game set in Milwaukee? Hodgepodge of Nothingness.

X-Men '97 is back... and somehow Season 2 might already be even better than the incredible first season! After one of the greatest superhero TV seasons ever made, Marvel Studios had enormous expectations to meet. Through the first four episodes of X-Men '97 Season 2, we think they're off to an outstanding start. In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we break down Episodes 1-4 of X-Men '97 Season 2, discussing the incredible action, shocking story developments, Apocalypse's rise, Cable's emotional journey, Magneto's biggest moments, and what we think is coming in the rest of the season. COLD OPEN (First 30 Minutes) Before discussing X-Men '97, we cover some of the biggest stories in superhero movies and pop culture: • Is The Flash really as bad as Madame Web? • Rumored characters appearing in the upcoming Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow (Justice Gang, John Stewart, Blue Beetle, Peacemaker, and Martian Manhunter & more!) • The Batman Part II delayed once again until February 2028 • Could James Gunn leave DC Studios after Paramount's reported acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery? • Why Clayface could become the sleeper hit of the DC Universe • Can The Odyssey or Spider-Man: Brand New Day become the next billion-dollar blockbuster? FULL SPOILER DISCUSSION After the news, we jump into a full spoiler breakdown of X-Men '97 Season 2 Episodes 1-4. We discuss: • The X-Men being divided across the past and future • En Sabah Nur's transformation into Apocalypse • Apocalypse vs. Magneto • The shocking ending to their battle • Nathan Summers (Cable) and his relationship with Scott Summers and Jean Grey • Apocalypse's Horsemen • X-Factor and X-Force in 1997 • Favorite characters and standout performances • The incredible animation • Fast-paced storytelling • Comic book inspirations and Easter eggs • Our predictions for the rest of Season 2 Marvel Studios continues to prove why X-Men '97 has become one of the best superhero animated series ever made. The emotional storytelling, stunning animation, incredible action sequences, and faithful adaptation of classic X-Men comics have us completely hooked. From Apocalypse's terrifying rise to Magneto's unforgettable moments, Cable's emotional family story, and the introduction of X-Factor and X-Force, these first four episodes are packed with everything we love about the X-Men. If the rest of the season maintains this level of quality, X-Men '97 Season 2 could surpass an already phenomenal first season. Whether you're a lifelong X-Men fan, a Marvel Comics reader, or someone discovering these characters for the first time, this review is packed with deep comic book discussions, theories, Easter eggs, and predictions for what's coming next.

The mainstream media has spent years telling the world that America is dangerous, divided, and broken. Dan McNamara flew in from Dubai, started posting videos from residential Palm Beach, and blew up the internet with 12.5 million views in thirty days — because the truth is the media's been lying. The Australian-born world traveler joins Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge live on The Marc Cox Morning Show to share what genuinely shocked him: the respect, the kindness, the cleanliness, the free water refills, and the overwhelming sense that Americans actually love their country and each other. His friends back in Australia are already asking how to get here. World Cup fans from across the globe are landing on U.S. soil and discovering what patriots already know — this is the greatest country on earth, and no amount of media spin can hide it once you actually show up. This is the conversation that will make your Monday morning and remind you exactly why you love this country.

Tuck into Dave's Bad Jokes on this sunny Thursday.

From a bullet-shattered future president in colonial garb to the 19th-century equivalent of a viral shame campaign, Chapter 2, "The Era of Good Feelings (and even better benefits!)" of the six-part Benefits of the Doubt podcast series exposes the dramatic turning points that rescued American veteran care from local charity . Host Jonathan Kaupanger details how President James Monroe used a masterclass in political branding—and a heavy dose of Revolutionary War nostalgia—to pass the ground-breaking Pension Act of 1818, marking the first time the federal government took long-term responsibility for its heroes. But when a panicked Congress tried to claw back funds by aggressively vetting veterans' poverty, it took a freezing night in Philadelphia and a heartbreaking portrait of an elderly soldier in rags to spark an uproar of national guilt. The resulting public outcry forced the passage of the monumental Pension Act of 1832, permanently shattering the degrading "poverty tests," turning veterans from beggars to ballers overnight with massive back-pay checks, and establishing the foundational blueprint for the modern Department of Veterans Affairs.  

In this episode of Even Better, host Sinikka Waugh sits down with Troy Roberts to explore a story of recovery, redemption, and lasting reform. Troy shares his journey from a childhood shaped by addiction to his own struggles with substance use, homelessness, and ultimately facing a 35 year prison sentence. He opens up about the loss of his mother, the turning point that led him to Harvest Academy, and how accountability, community, and lived experience transformed his life. Troy now dedicates his work to helping others find hope and build meaningful connections in recovery. This conversation offers an honest look at growth, resilience, and the impact of choosing a different path forward.   -- Troy, once lost to crime and addiction, turned his life around through Harvest Academy. From substance abuse, crime, and being incarcerated, facing a 35-year prison sentence, to graduating from the program, he has transformed his pain into purpose — now serving as a staff member and mentor, guiding others toward the same redemption and growth that changed his own life.   Facebook: Troy Roberts LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/troy-roberts-464478331/ Other: Harvest Academy Iowa | Indianola IA

In this week's parasha , Shelach , the Jewish People were tested in emunah and bitachon and they failed. Kalev tried to give them chizuk , saying, "Hashem wants us to go in, we have nothing to fear." But it didn't help. The pasuk says סלחתי כדבריך ואולם חי אני – Hashem forgave them but they were not going to be allowed into Eretz Yisrael . Most mefarshim explain סלחתי כדבריך to mean Hashem forgave them for the עגל, but not for the meraglim . And that's why they were not allowed into Israel. The reason both sins are mentioned in the same pasuk is because both of them were due to a lack of bitachon . By the עגל, Hashem tested the people by showing them a vision which made it appear that Moshe Rabbenu was not coming back. They knew that the mann was in the merit of Moshe and so they feared without Moshe they would go hungry. Their test was they should have realized Hashem is the One supporting them. It is true that Hashem gives us things in the merit of tzaddikim , but He also gives us new tzaddikim when the ones we had were taken away. The Gemara says that one time the entire world was being sustained in the merit of Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa. But what happened when Rab Chanina ben Dosa passed away? There was still sustenance being given. The reason is because it is Hashem who gives sustenance and He is never bound by any one means to give it. The Jewish People received water in the midbar in the merit of Miriam. But when Miriam passed away, Hashem still continued giving them water in the zechut of Moshe. The Clouds of Glory were given in the merit of Aharon, but when Aharon passed away, Hashem brought the clouds back in the merit of Moshe. Then when Moshe passed away, Hashem continued helping His People through Yehoshua. Hashem is always the One who is taking care of us and He wants us to feel that in our hearts. He wants us to internalize that He is unlimited and has infinite ways of helping. When someone had an avenue of parnasa that is no longer producing the same money it used to, this person is being tested with the same type of test. Is he going to believe that it was the means that was supporting him, or that it was Hashem? No matter how good a person thinks he used to have it, Hashem could always make it even better. A man said his wife works as a nurse's aid at people's homes. Before she gave birth, she worked for a nice old lady and they both enjoyed the relationship and the pay was good too. When she gave birth, a substitute was put there instead and when her paid vacation ended, the substitute didn't want to leave. She too had fallen in love with this nice old lady. Instead of making a fuss about it, the man's wife set out to start over from the beginning. She tried several places but nothing was available. Frustrated, she started getting angry at the substitute who took her job. But then she caught herself and worked on her emunah. She managed to remove the anger from her heart and feel at ease, knowing she was in Hashem's Hands. The very same afternoon that she was finally calm, she got a call from an agency with a new offer. The lady she was given to work for was also very sweet like the other lady. This job gave her more hours and more pay and was much closer to her house. She thought she had it good before and would never get the same opportunity, now she has it much better. We are never dependent on one means in any area of life. Hashem is the One who provides the means and He is unlimited. And we are to know that He was, is and always will be there to help us. Shabbat Shalom.

There are a lot of reasons that the M's have played better over their last 9 games but if you had to point to one, is it Colt Emerson? Then, we give our picks for Seahawks players that were already really good but could be even better this year and Brock's Blue 88.

It's now abundantly clear that not only are the Georgia Republican Party's two Senate options of poor candidate quality with mid-20th century 'Jim Crow' vision, they're corrupt. Even worse for the Georgia GOP, they're golden boy - governor Brian Kemp - has been pulled into the woodchipper and exposed as well. With good local journalism disappearing - even in major hubs like Atlanta - it's important to pay attention to when it's still covering stories like these. The whole "Dooley-Kemp-other Dooley money funnel" story brought to light last week by WXIA-TV's Doug Richards was actually touched on in a Substack piece by Georgia Politics & Polling (no author named). Still, hat-tip!That sullies the already mediocre shine on the campaign of failed football coach Derek Dooley, son of UGA football legend Vince. It's also tarnished the perception that Brian Kemp is an unblemished 'rising star' with 2028 aspirations. Rep. Mike Collins, however, has long seemed to have issues with the company he keeps - notably his chief staffer and campaign manager Brandon Phillips. If Brandon's not making repulsive statements about rape victims being "sloppy seconds," he's making sure his girlfriend gets paid via taxpayer dollars through an internship where she did nothing. Then there's another staffer - Kip Talley - working double-time to free a Holocaust-denier - and bragging he'd do so in a group chat.A whole lot of 'ick' on that run-off ballot.- - - Speaking of run-offs, I'd opted not to weigh in on Georgia Democratic run-offs because I don't see bad options; but the lieutenant governor's race calls for commentary. Listen, I've no issues with ambition, but former Senator Nabilah Parkes put hers above her constituents, and her debate performance did little to make her look as a) a superior choice or b) a likable candidate (and she's a likable person, so that's baffling). Leaving your post is one thing; leaving the middle of a General Assembly session is another. Trying to explain that your absence means nothing because the other side is the majority and will ram new maps through anyway smacks of 'defeatism' and her opponent, state Senator Josh McLaurin is right to point that out.

What happens when Brian Lumley stops hinting at his vampires… and finally gives us the FULL nightmare fuel experience?In today's episode, Jim dives into Necroscope II: Vamphyri! — the second book in the Necroscope series by Brian Lumley — and friends, this thing goes HARD into vampire lore, Cold War psychic espionage, body horror, and the continuing story of Harry Keogh.After recently enjoying the first Necroscope novel, Jim returns to the series to explore:* The terrifying history of the Wamphyri* Why Harry Keogh remains such a compelling protagonist* The rich Cold War Europe atmosphere* Psychic spy warfare between ESP agencies* Why this sequel may actually be BETTER than book oneAlong the way, Jim also reflects on how this series somehow completely escaped his attention back in the 1980s… despite teenage Jim consuming every vampire movie and novel he could get his hands on — including some VERY questionable 70s vampire cinema.If you enjoy horror books, supernatural thrillers, dark fantasy, vampire fiction, or cult-classic horror series, this may be one you absolutely need to check out.Have you read Necroscope II: Vamphyri!?

AI is incredible. In the last two years, I've watched executives accomplish in hours what used to take weeks. The speed is real. The leverage is real. I'm not here to slow any of that down.But I am here to remind you of something. Something so obvious… so fundamental… that most leaders don't even notice when it starts to slip.And it's the one thing AI will never be able to replace. Let's dive in.> Links mentioned within

Welcome to "Thriving in Midlife" The Women's Guide to Wellness, Longevity & Hormones After 40. This is your trusted space to cut through the noise, ditch the overwhelm, and finally feel extraordinary in your body, mind, and life. Are you who are ready to stop pushing through life and start living it with intention, energy, and ease? Then let's get started. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, I'm reflecting on a life-changing return from Europe, where what started as a trip became something much deeper about time, family, health, and the way we choose to live our lives. I share what it was like traveling not just for myself, but with my mom in her 80s and my daughter abroad, and how that experience shifted the way I see “waiting” for the right time. This conversation is really about what happens when you stop postponing life and start actually living it.Key Highlights:➡️ Why my recent trip to Spain with my 81-year-old mom shifted my perspective on aging, health, and the legacy I want to leave behind. ➡️ Why we keep putting off our dream lives and how to stop waiting for the “perfect” moment to design your future. ➡️ Why the shared experiences with loved ones carry a value that no price tag can match. ➡️ How to notice when you have settled for “good enough” and the power of asking, Can I receive more? ➡️ The mindset shift that made me realize I did not have to trade all my time for income. ➡️ How a global shutdown forced me to rethink income, reclaim my time, and pivot into the online space. ➡️ Redefining a rich life as freedom, flexibility, and meaningful experiences, not just material spending. ➡️ A simple reflection exercise to see if you are actually enjoying your life and how to intentionally bring more fun into your week. Key Takeaways:"The memories, the experiences, the what we shared, that like cellular energy when you're together with somebody will never be forgotten." -Kellie Lupsha"Just take inventory of your life, take inventory of what you're doing, take inventory. Are you loving it? Are you having as much fun as you could?" -Kellie Lupsha1️⃣ JOIN US IN THE WOMEN'S LONGEVITY & WELLNESS HUB!A Functional Medicine, Wellness, and Coaching Membership designed just for women over 50.

We live in a world that has made safety a religion. And honestly? Most of us have brought that same instinct into our faith. We want God's protection more than God's will. We want the blessings without the cost. We want a Jesus that's manageable. But that's not the Jesus we find in Scripture. In this message, Charlie digs into a phrase a lot of us have heard — "the safest place you can be is the center of God's will" — and asks whether we've gotten that wrong. Because the disciples walked toward the place where people tried to stone Jesus. Because Paul's resume was shipwrecks and beatings and prison. Because the Hall of Faith in Hebrews doesn't just include the miracles. It includes the ones who were tortured, wandered, and suffered — and of whom the world was not worthy. Safety is a good. But is it our best good? Charlie offers three questions worth asking alongside "is it safe?" — is it on mission, is it worth the cost, and is it faithful? This isn't a guilt trip. It's a conversation about what it actually looks like to follow a God who walked into the cross.

Are you waking up at 3 am, heart racing, mind spinning, unable to shut off the fear, no matter what you try? Are months, maybe years of relentless bad news quietly aging you from the inside out? Science now proves it is. And science also proves you can reverse it, fast. Michael welcomes back Dr. Dawson Church, one of the world's leading EFT researchers with over 200 clinical trials to his name and 22,000 veterans helped to recovery from PTSD, a man who has also lived through the unthinkable. When his home burned to the ground in a California wildfire, losing everything overnight, Dr. Dawson didn't just survive it. He tapped his way through it, meditated through the ash and the grief, and discovered something extraordinary about what the human nervous system is truly capable of. His newest work, Spiritual Intelligence, maps the neuroscience of awakening itself, and the findings will blow your mind. This isn't about managing stress. This is about lighting up four hardwired circuits in your brain that make bliss, resilience, and genuine transcendence your new normal. Key Topics: Why a single EFT tapping session reduces cortisol by an average of 24%, and why chronic stress, left unchecked, can rob you of up to 24 years of your life. The truth about why talking about your problems doesn't work, and what tapping does in nanoseconds that talk therapy simply cannot. How Dr. Dawson's home burning down became the greatest proof of his life's work, and the one thing he did the very next morning that brought him back from dissociation. The 3 am wake-up hack: why you keep jolting awake in the middle of the night and the evidence-based technique to turn that window into deeper sleep. What the enlightenment network is, the four specific brain circuits that meditators grow bigger, stronger, and more connected, and how stress is the only thing shutting them off. Why we are literally hardwired for enlightenment, and the stunning data showing the human neocortex has grown 13% in volume in just one generation. How meditation has been shown to halt, and even reverse, Alzheimer's-related brain shrinkage, growing key regions back within six months. EcoMeditation: the five-minute, evidence-based protocol Dr. Dawson created to get even the most scattered, over-stimulated minds into deep meditative states, fast. Why tapping is subtractive, and meditation is additive, and how combining them is the double whammy that breaks the trauma cycle for good. Your brain can build a brand new neural pathway in just 12 seconds. The four circuits of your enlightenment network: emotion regulation, focused attention, compassion, and reduced self-absorption, are already wired inside you. They`ve always been there. Stress is simply the switch that turned them off. And you, right now, have everything you need to turn them back on. Join the Inspire Nation Soul Family!

David, Catherine and the Athletic's Matt Futterman had plenty to talk about after Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka completed the rare Double Sunshine Double with their Miami Open titles.

How does Sabalenka manage to peak at every tournament she plays, and is Gauff coming good at just the right time?Part three - News (1:08:24 - 1:35:17) The WTA finals is set to move from Saudi Arabia - we wonder why, and where to?
